My first serious amp is LM 508ia. Been enjoying since last week on my pair of 10+ year old Paradigm Studio 40v3 pair of speakers. I got a demo version from a dealer and it sounds good to me. It is heavy and seems very well built it does perform better than my Marantz SR7005. Does put out a lot of heat just like any other class A amp I guess.
You should consider your speakers, how far you sit from them, how loud you like to listen to etc before going the tube way. But you may already know that.
